According to EarthTouch News, "the annual squid-spawning event off the coast of South Africa is in full swing". If you think that sounds utterly gross and horrifying, you are correct.

During a recent warm spell in South Africa, the squid moved closer to the shores of Cape St Francis to lay sausage-shaped eggs... thousands and thousands of them, blanketing the sea floor in biological muck.

Making the revolting spectacle even more revolting are the predators — seals, sharks, stingrays and birds — who move in to chow down on the eggy feast.
